Strategy First controlled access to players. Pub a box would not quite sit well with give away. You can still do stuff offline from the full install. Since you post your experience, I will post mine. Sysgate works fine for me. I get 40+ FPS online in all fights. I could play it on a 1.3amd. Lower FPS. Then again this week should be the dx8.1 with T&L with fps increase. Since it was coded to help the low end guys out early on,  that problem is being fixed. Acutally looks pretty good now.

Back to the box. Done in February, with SF input, and I believe CRS thought they could do it, with the time. The gold ship date surprised a lot of the beta and from I have been able to gather, it did some rodents too.

I am sorry that I have a better experience than you had.

I'm sorry..... I thought this was the thread for Battlefield 1942.  It must be the next door across the hall.  How silly of me.  :rolleyes:

For god's sake, hardcase, most people aren't interested in your born again, evangelising.

As for the topic of this discussion - BF 1942 - it's a great game anyway, I'd recommend it. And if you don't believe me, try the demo. :)

 lol. Summonabidge, I never thought of doing that. I saw the wrench but never gave it another thought.  I have had fun with the land mines and tnt but this wil be interesting to try.  Thanks Superfly :)


Theres a few stable 32 people servers floating around I play on....

Played an excellent game of Bulge yesterday, where we american engineers defended a bridge the whole game, mining the crap outa the bridges, using TNT for the inf....with the odd sherman for backup

it's arcadey, but fun

BF1942 has some nice visuals. Has some great maps. Is popular but gets old real fast.  I was bored within a week and the net code is atrocious.  Some servers run smooth. Others are like scraping your eyeball across industrial sandpaper.

Id reccomend having a system compatible with one required for WW2Online and waiting to buy it AFTER they release a decent patch to fix its laggy prettythang.


(There. I got WW2OL and 1942 in, in the same post. WOOHOO!)

Ode a P3 600 is your gaming machine? How about posting that each time you speak about that "other" sim.  No wonder that other sim was no fun for you. Before you go there, it is above the mins on the box.

I too am enjoying BF192. I bounce between Aces High and BF1942 nightly. There are some really good maps with the retail version. My fav is IWO JIMA, to me it plays like the ultimate paintabll field once you get on the island. For tank battles Battle of the Bulge is a great.
 The netcode and hitbox issues are annoying but if you stick with it you can almost figure it out. I was experimenting and lead my shots almost 1/4 inch ahead of my target with the sniper rifle and WAS HITTING! Everyone's saying the coders are on a vacation, and a patch should be coming soon, so they say.

Is that lead on top of what you would lead a guy you are sniping? Are you having to do that even if the guy isnt moving?


so..do you lead then add a 1/4" more lead on a moving target?
